Evening all

 

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if the front bumper of a 9n3 polo comes apart, mainly the part in the middle, I'm wanting to paint it black like the gti. I know I could do it by just masking the bumper off but it'd be much easier and i'd get a better finish if I could remove the centre section and paint it indoors.

 

Thanks in advance, Dan

Remove #21 https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/polo+derby+vento-ind/po/2007-461/8/853-853000/#21  and pull grill out 

Hi

 

Thanks for the reply, it know that the grill comes off the bumper. it's the section in the middle between the grills that I want to remove to paint, the bit that the number plate sits on. Do you know if this can be separated from the rest of the bumper?

That area is part of the complete cover and isn't a removable panel https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/polo+derby+vento-ind/po/2007-461/8/807-807000/ 

Thanks for your help Nige8021, saved me from trying to rip it apart because it kinda looks like it could be separated, but now I know it can't be.

 

Looks like it might be a job for summer then when it's a bit better for painting outdoors!

 

Cheers, Dan
